*Bake the cake in an ungreased pan to give the batter something to cling to as it rises.
*Turn the baked cake upside down to prevent it from collapsing while it cools. Balance it on a bottle or funnel if the cake pan does not have its own prongs to rest on. Keep the cake upside down until completely cool.
*Cut the finished cake with a long, serrated knife in a gentle sawing motion to prevent it from being compressed.
